NSD: My New Toy and a Fresh Start at Learning Something New!

[syscokid]

As long as you are not like my grandson.
What ever he try’s, with in a month, he sounds like he has been playing it for a couple of years.

I admire people with those types of abilities. And it used to leave me a little discouraged about my own abilities. Nowadays I don't care, and just try to enjoy what I can do.

Here you go Sp8ctre. This is my favorite MR.Casual playing with Hall and Oates. I remembered him after seeing them play together at a chttps://youtu.be/sudGlQBTGXw?t=40oncert here where I live, that's some years ago now.

I took trumpet lessons in elementary school after finding one of my parent's Herb Alpert & The Tiajuana Brass albums. It was really intimidating!!!

Love the Sax!

HATE Cleaning it!

You can't just pick it up and play for a while and then set it down...it must be swabbed out else it corrode!

Best of luck! I'm still trying to figure out how to use the mouthpiece of my wife's French Horn. Can't make it work to save my life.

I think those horn mouthpieces are harder than blowing a reed on a Saxophone!

Made it through a couple verses of Jingle Bells and Yankee Doodle today...not posting any of it until it gets a better flow...

The late Clarence Clemons, Candy Dulfer, Mindi Abair, Boney James and Ronnie Laws would be a good start...

Love Candy Dulfer's version of Cut the Cake, there's some emoting going on right there.

My first guitar teacher was adamant re: the relationship of the sax to the electric guitar. Almost to the point of obsessive lol.

The more I learn about tone, improv etc... the more I realize how correct he was. Have fun with the instrument brotha.

Time to transcribe some sax solos to six string?
